“Why I wanted to have a restaurant wasn’t to make money, it was to prove that the food was good.” @archnabecker Chef and Owner of @bhojanic got creative when the pandemic hit and started her own #ghostkitchen. Now over a year later, Archna and her team have truly proven themselves with a delicious new venture @tandooriatl - (check out the new location in @politanrowatlanta).
This was such a fun project to work on - and seriously, you gotta try these wings. 😋

“It’s the annual Mysore University Disco Dance Off. Premi’s in the audience, and the Winner, Vasu, catches her eye. Mysore Magic is a coming-of-age/magical-realist adventure into an unlikely 1986 Indian romance that sheds light on social status, arranged marriages, and the caste system.” Congratulations to our very own @abijeetachar for being named a finalist in @filmimpactgeorgia’s 2020 Filmmaker Grant!
Spent the weekend at @parlorden with owner and community leader Alphonzo Cross, as we help showcase Parlor’s unique story and look ahead to its ambitious future. Thanks for having us, Parlor! We can’t wait to release this project in the coming weeks. @ Castleberry Hill

Over the past decade we’ve seen countless videos of state-sanctioned brutality against black people, with ever-increasing regularity. The pain and outrage persevere, even as the shock has long since worn off. Whether this murderous regime has finally reached its tipping point or not, it is past time for us all to proactively uplift and amplify black voices in our neighborhood and city. Only through coordination and economic support of one another can we solidify a unified front to demand institutional reform. Our part to play: with your help, we will begin work on a film that underscores the strength and endurance black-owned business in Atlanta have exuded in the face of pandemics both biological and societal. Tag, comment, or DM us the Atlanta black business or leader that you want to amplify, and we will reach out to include them in this project. In the memory of those lost and the struggle still to come, let’s get to work. #blacklivesmatter #breonnataylor #ahmaudarbery #georgefloyd #amplifymelanatedvoices #amplifyblackvoices #atlantafilm #atlantafilmmakers #blackfilmmakers

How to describe Christian Wise Smith? It’s our mission to allow art to uplift those who society often leaves stranded. When we met Christian in a coffee shop in Castleberry Hill (shout out @adioscafe!) we knew almost immediately he wasn’t just a candidate for Fulton County District Attorney. He is a champion for the same people we hope to raise up. We are proud to have created his official campaign video. Head over to @wisesmith2020 to see it in full and learn more about his mission to prioritize people over conviction rates in Atlanta.

In pre-production for Forgive Us, we decided to shoot on an Alexa Mini with Arri Anamorphic Master Primes. A few days before production, an Alexa Mini LF became available through our partnership with @mediateamgo. We had a choice to make, Large Format or Anamorphic. After looking at the images the LF produced, it was a no brainer. The choice of anamorphics were to expand the horizontal space of the background. Large Format did this incredibly well...a 50mm lens looked like a 25mm, but still maintained a pleasant shallow depth of field. We added a 4mm streak filter to deepen the anamorphic look, and a 1/8 Black Pro Mist for good measure. The LF was complimented by a set of Cooke S7/I’s. These lenses are absolutely stunning. Paired with a Large Format sensor, the images produced are rich and full of nuanced details. Thank you to @mediateamgo and @pce_atlanta for helping put together this killer package for Forgive Us!

That’s a wrap on “Forgive Us”!THANK YOU to our amazing cast and crew for making last weekend an unforgettable experience. We know firsthand how difficult things are with the film industry coming to a halt this week. Let's lean on each other (6 ft apart), and continue to keep in touch during these trying times. We can’t wait to be back on set with you again. #🍍🔪🎥 @ Atlanta, Georgia
Tomorrow we open a new chapter for our company and for ourselves as creatives. We’ll begin production on “Forgive Us,” a story written by @jonothonmitchell and @d.w.hodges, produced in partnership with @mediateamgo. To all who contributed funding to make this film possible: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And to the dozens of collaborators who will come together to help bring the vision to life: let’s do this! See you bright and early.
We are thrilled to announce THORNS as an official selection at the Chattanooga Film Festival! This collaboration with Homebody Pictures and @mediateamgo was a blast to shoot. See it premiere in Chattanooga on April 16!
We loved getting to know @karlareidart and the story that inspires her deeply personal collage work. Thanks for letting us capture you in your element, Karla! Stop by @mutinyartwrx to meet the artist herself, and add her amazing work to your collection.
Shout out to two of our favorite collaborators, Demetrius Beasley and Jackson Donovan! These guys are amazing, and we couldn’t have produced the Summer Dreams Anthology without them. Can’t wait to work with you both again!
We have just 24 HOURS left in our fundraising campaign for Forgive Us! Our final incentive challenge is a crossover with our great friends at Homebody Pictures (WATER HORSE). Last August, we joined forces with them again to produce THORNS, a mini-horror that follows a q***r couple on a deadly road trip. Anyone who contributes to both @seedandspark campaigns for Forgive Us and Homebody’s next project THE THAW will receive an early digital download of the new poster for THORNS! Links below:
